I find it funny how some "fat" people are taking offense from the question...
Nobody insulted you, or remarked on your weight...just purely asked the question, which you chose to answer.

So if you're going to get offended, all you're doing is displaying your own insecurities.

Anyhow, no im not fat.
Being 6ft 4 helps =] although I am technically one stone overweight for my age and height, but you can't tell. Nothing a few trips down to the gym wouldn't sort.

Some people are fat due to their parents being fat etc...
Which is horrible, because they're naturally bigger due to no fault of their own.

People who are fat without the excuse of family/glandular problems, are usually people with issues. Comfort eating is the most common reason why people are fat, closely followed by people who just eat too much and are lacking a life. Which results in barely any exercise/walking/activity.
